What to Focus On

  • (a + b)^2 and (a - b)^2 differ only in the sign of the middle term.
  • (a + b)(a - b) gives a difference of squares.
  • When multiplying two linear expressions, collect the x-terms carefully.

  • Cube identities expand into four terms.
  • The final sign in (a - b)^3 is negative.
  • Sum of cubes and difference of cubes are factorized using trinomial factors.

  • Factorization reverses multiplication.
  • Take the common factor first whenever possible.
  • Difference of squares, perfect squares, and cubes are standard patterns.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The square of difference is found by simply changing every sign in the square of sum formula.

The cube of difference is obtained by changing all signs from the cube of sum formula.

In (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2), the middle term should be plus because the product looks more balanced that way.
